On this, the fifth edition of Malbec World Day, more than 70 events will take place in 64 cities of 50 countries around the world to pay tribute to Argentina’s flagship grape variety. Malbec World Day (April 17) celebrations, held by the Wines of Argentina organization, will take place on Friday, April 10, in the predio ferial El Dorrego (Dorrego 1850 between Honduras and Guatemala). Visitors of the Dionysian celebration can expect wine tastings, gastronomic pairings and wine counsel.

This year is to be of particular import, as vintners will be collaborating with local directorial talent to screen three short films demonstrative of Argentine culture and spirit. Chosen by the Wines of Argentina organization, the films are to work in tandem with wine samplings to capture the nation’s seductive essence. The fair is aptly titled “Lights, Camera, Malbec.”

For those unfortunately outside of this beautiful Malbec oasis of a country, further events are taking place in a myriad of cities, including New York, Toronto, São Paulo & VIETNAM HANOI…
